Fictional character crushes

Inspired by another thread who is your fictional character crush?

In no particular order:

Carlise (Twilight)
Edward (Twilight)

& Evan Peters in pretty much all of the bad boy roles in American Horror story but if I have to choose ‘March’ (in Hotel) 😍

should add - the actors don’t really appeal its 100% the character 😜

Colonel Brandon ( Alan Rickman)...in fact almost any Alan Rickman character.
Morse ( John Thaw).
Gene Hunt.....oooh!
The big tall actor who played Clive in Casualty, and was also in Vicar of Dibley as a love interest for a bit.
Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell. Something oddly sexy about him.
Denys Finch Hatton in Out of Africa ( but probably because Robert Redford is the love of my life).

Gilbert Blythe! Of course, how could I forget him. I think the casting in the TV series "Anne with an E" was perfect too, every single character is spot on. The storyline veers wildly from the books, but it all seems true to the spirit of things. I'm hoping they make another series in a few years - the books do jump in time by a long way... 🤞

Jon Snow! At least, the book version. In the TV show there's not much evidence of all the goings-on in his head.

Captain Carrot and Sam Vines too 😍

Oh stupid autocorrect. VIMES obviously

Erik and Ragnar before he turns into a knob head - Last Kingdom

Rio - Good Girls

Geralt - The Witcher

Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones)
Will Graham (Hannibal)
Malcolm Tucker (The Thick of It) I had a dream about him once and couldn't look at Peter Capaldi without blushing for weeks!

BearSoFair · 03/08/2022 08:31

Oh! Lucas North in Spooks...but Richard Armitage on the whole really

Adam Carter from Spooks but also - girl crush on Hermione Norris’s character in Spooks. Such a brilliant role. The best of all the characters. I did Tom (Matthew McF) in Spooks but his exit really ruined it for me as I didn’t think he would exit like that and my crush quickly dissipated….

Nacho Varga from Better Call Saul.
I totally want to rescue him.

I’m loving this thread - have to keep tearing myself away from it 🤣 and Googling all the hotties I didn’t know before

Gilbert Blythe too - he was my first crush.

it’s a long time since I read Riders, but I also had a crush on Jake.

and of course Ross Poldark.

I had a crush on Jake too but I don’t think any of them have aged well! Apart from Luke in Rivals 😍

Remind me how Tom exits? I’m watching Matthew McF in Succession, and happened to catch an old episode of Spooks on some channel the other night — and he looked so round-faced and puppyish!

Agree entirely on Ros — I adored her! (And had a thing for Ruth…)

The real Denys F-H was balding with a giant conk, alas, so you’re probably right to concentrate on RR’s version!

Hels20 · 03/08/2022 10:31

@CowPalace - he went a bit rogue/mad. Went off grid and Harry had a standoff with him in a country Lane (I think with helicopters whirring above) and he had to hand in his gun and then he retired. Now Adam had a much more heroic exit. And of course the amazing Ros.

@NoShitHemlock the hot priest from Fleabag is something else 😂❤️

GenialHarryGr0ut · 03/08/2022 10:36

Endeavour Morse
Brian from Teachers
Gene Hunt

The irony being if I met a real life Gene Hunt he would enrage me

scoobycute · 03/08/2022 10:37

*Jack Dawson in TITANIC?!

Absolute childhood CRUSHHH
